Depending on why you’re travelling and how long you plan to stay, you may require a visa for travel to the Schengen area. Check the European Entry and Exit (EES) and visa rules before you travel. If you’re a dual national of a European country, check whether the EES applies to you and what passport you should enter on. There may be delays at border crossings (see ‘Travel’).

Sweden’s domestic terror alert is at ‘elevated’ or level 3 out of 5. An elevated threat level still includes the possibility that a terrorist attack could occur.
